bed is occupied. 1.

The invention is of especialutility in sick rooms in cases where it is essen iai-or desirable that the patients body rece ve as much fresh air as possible, while at theijs'a'ine time the cover remains in positidn'overlthe patient. I l,

The invention, broadly stated, t includes suitabl formed apertured air condpits'g'wth means @which the same may bereniovably said conduits being elbow tubes or pipes. u, l

It will be understood that the invention 41s susceptible of' embodiment in numerous, forms, and in the accompanying drawing,

preferably formed as I have shown a perspective' view, parts bei" ,y

ing shown in section, of one form of the invention.

Referrm to the drawing 9, 10, designate sections o an air conduit formed as an elbow pipe, provided with the suitably formed orifices 11. Embracing one of the sections, for example that .designated 9, is

serve to receive the means,1such as spring clamps e by'whi'ch they device is removably secured to the edge-of' the bed cover or counterpane. One or moresuch Ventilating Copies o1 this 11a-tent ma; be obtained for devices may be applied at each of the longer edges of the bed cover. Theelbowgltubes participate in each movement of the occupant of the bed, so that the body is uniformly covered, z'. e., the hollow formed by the o'ccupantsbody in the bed always remains covered, because owing to the weight of the4 tubes, the cover lies smoothly vand snugly against the body. This feature not only results in great comfort to the person lying in bed, but also enables the device to be constantly used. When throwing the v cover back, or upon leaving or getting into bed, it is not necessary -to release the air conduits, it being merely necessary to move the conduits with ythe cover. The band a may be of any desired or suitable material, such as fabric, rubberor'leather, or may be replace-d by any other means which will permit' of the air tubes being 4snugly secured to the bed cover.

towhich the latter project into the bed may be adjusted to suit` the exigencies of the OCCRSlOn.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by' Letters Patent is In cembination, an apertured air conduit,l

"a collar in which said conduit is slidable, lateralI projections carried vby said collar,

I The band a loosely4 embraces the air tubes so that the distance and spring clamps for engaging said lateral projections and the edge of a bed cover whereby the device may be removably secured in position. p I

In testimony whereof I have aliixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.
